[Healback303]

Metallica must have such a hard time when making their set, so many hits and even more amazing songs that aren't their well known ones

[Xbox360MasterzZ]

[tallica2860]

[Ironlord2015]

Perhaps he fancied wearing it that day, regardless of what festival he was actually at ;)

[jake1995ke]

[XpanterafanX]

There's a good reason why this was the best weekend of my life...

[JONNYCLEWES1]

[A7XFAN012K8]

[stevenmcilwaine]

Apparently this was the first time they played this live in 8/9 years...

And I was there... :D

[Ironlord2015]

@stevenmcilwaine - Narrr mate, this wasn't the first time in 8/9 years that they'd played it, they have played Fade to Black quite a lot in the last few years actually. But anyway, glad you were there to enjoy it, and thanks for commenting. Cheers \m/

[redfl83]

What a day the sunday was. When James says "Can u feel it?" was just so amazing my wheelchair rocked like hell that weekend. Deffo back next year, the sunday was amazing Lab of God, Machine Head, Mastodon and Metallica i did have to take Extra pills to get me through. But I got a rest when shitty Soggy Bizkit came on. And yeah i agree it was an amazing Metallica set. My throat was destroyed after. See u next year!!!!!!

This gives me MAJOR goosebumps. they are simply the best metal/hard rock band there is.

[MrRedman]

Was there. Just managed to rush from the front of Avenged Sevenfold's set to like 10 rows from the front.

My first 'Tallica show and I can honestly say it was AMAZING!

Apparently it was the best gig and setlist for a while. They played Dyers Eve my fav.

[FRANKYJXx]

wonder how kirk keeps his hair so bouncy x

[markdr123]

With the lighting and everything I almost thought James was going to recite a Blake poem or something at 4:28.

[tallica2860]

'twas awesome \m/

[criley2254]

[stonesour3366]

[Metalupyouras1]

Very good performance!

[jorditonator]

One of my very favorite metallica songs. Very fun song to know how to play!

[ashissure23]

fuckin awesome

[AztekPB123]

The end gave me goosebumps, when the whole crowd was singing the rythm to the solo...truely epic.

[aidyspady999]

that was quality

[DonFicoMontana]

Legendary

[jhonexcel]

I love you Metallica

[jischaerrer]

that was a tight performance. het's voice sounds awesome.

[AztekPB123]

He really does sound a lot like early 90's Het now, it's great :D

[ColtinNotChicken]

I love this song so much.I'm glad they started playing it again

[jolebrav]

They pretty much always played this song.

[JHChap123]

Yeah, but not on the world magnetic tour, they've barely played it lately

[aidyspady999]

i hardly ever see it played

[CFDEngCo3]

Amazing. Can wait to see them at MSG on Nov. 14. Great upload. Thanks!!! Best. Band. Ever.

[crapmaster5000]

OMG Mee too I have to get tickets!

[Ununoctium1337]

If there is any song Kirk should lay off the wah-pedal this is the one. PLEASE KIRK DON'T GO THERE!

[Arianator]

Yes, this is one of his best solos. It kind of ruins the somber feeling.

[BijanMetallica]

He sometimes over-uses the wah on this song, but he used it quite well on the last solo of this performance. I still like the '89 version the best.

[KeepTheHellfireLit]

They sure know what they are doing.

[WSFB16]

LAME CROWD!!!!

[metalgurukw]

HAHAHAAAAAA fuck you, i was there and the crowd were fuckin awesome. If you werent there i suggest you shut up

Thankyou

[edseventh]

i was there! amazing atmosphere \m/

[strawberryjellybaby]

The Whole Song Gives You Goosebumps =D

[NinjaChick3nOnline]

Thanks a lot for uploading this; it was so epic it was unbelievable. Kinda dissapointed with the "highlights" show on channel 4.

[Ironlord2015]

No problem ;) I believe they also showed Metallica performing Hit The Lights at the beginning of the ch4 show last night, but unfortunately I missed it...usually with those kind of "highlights" progs, they show all the headline act stuff at the end of the program, and I missed the first few minutes...started watching just as Stinkin' Fart...sorry, Linkin Park were on. But anyway this was worth seeing Fade To Black is a pure classic...long live _/METALLICA\_ \m/ ( ' L ' ) \m/

[knaZur]

Epic
